Well, I would ask "How did you install it?" If you did it one of the
proper ways like.... zypper install
google-earth-stable_current_i386.rpm it would have resolved all the
dependencies, downloaded them, and installed....and it would be
working. That is the way I did and it pulled in these additional
pieces... The following NEW packages are going to be installed:
glibc-i18ndata google-earth-stable kdelibs3-default-style lsb qt3 The
following recommended package was automatically selected:
kdelibs3-default-style

That's exactly my own question now how it was installed. I can only add
that I did exactly the same as Ed (just with the 64 bit version).
Downloaded the rpm and installed with "zypper in ..." which pulled in
the appropriate dependencies and it just works on 11.4 and 12.1 without
any problem.

and I the same over the last several versions of openSUSE and on several
different machines/architectures.

The first time I downloaded the 64 bit version and was asked to install
or safe it in Downloads. I choose install and it was insralled bij Apper.
That seemed to install
http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/rpm/stable/x86_64 as a softwaresource.
So, after removing with Yast googleearth i Reinstalled with Yast and all
files mentioned above are installed. Yet I got the same reaction as before.
What has zypper that is not realised by Yast?
